Chapter 802: Dragon-like Reversal (40)
————In Xiang Yuanguang’s opinion, the answer to this question is not difficult to come up with.
The answer lies in the riddle.
If the top leaders of the Dongcheng Society go to great lengths to do something that is detrimental to the interests of the Dongcheng Society, it means that this person has other identities that can gain other benefits through this matter.
And what’s just right is that Conan had already given the answer in his previous speculation——
Omi Federation in the Kansai region.
Xiang Yuanguang's fingers gently touched his forehead.
His eyes fell on Utsunomiya Naoji's face, and he said nothing, as if he was waiting for something.
Such an unpredictable attitude made Utsunomiya Naoji feel a little uneasy.
This man, known as a legendary lawyer, is always able to find testimony that can deal a fatal blow to his target from one or two sentences of testimony that seem to be completely irrelevant to the case.
Although he didn't think that Xiang Yuanguang's question just now had anything to do with the inference that Xiang Yuanguang wanted to prove.
But, if it was Xiang Yuanguang...
Perhaps even this testimony, which he thought was completely irrelevant to the case, would become one of the favorable evidences to prove his inference against Yuan Guang, and might even become a crucial bullet shot at him.
The black chess piece in front of Utsunomiya Naoji is shaking.
This means that his mental state is not as stable as before.
Xiang Yuanguang calmly watched the special display brought by the logical chess, picked up the coffee, took a sip, and looked calm and composed, as if the trial was completely under his control.
Then he asked directly.
"Mr. Utsunomiya, may I ask, have you ever doubted the person who provided you with resources..."
"Actually, he is not a high-ranking member of the East City Association?"
This question caused an uproar in the audience of the courtroom.
Even the blond judge sitting in the main seat widened his eyes in surprise.
He didn't know why Xiang Yuanguang suddenly asked such a question at this time.
Even those who care least about this case know that the person who provided weapons and resources to Utsunomiya Naoji must be one of the top leaders of the Tojo Clan, even if it was not Shimano Tai.
It doesn't matter whether Naoji Utsunomiya knew that the trader was a high-ranking official of the Tojo Clan.
Because the fact is that the trader is a senior executive of the Dongcheng Association.
Asking this question to Yuan Guang seemed meaningless to him.
Iwai Sayoko, sitting in the prosecutor's seat, pushed up her black-framed glasses and found the attack point.
She said it bluntly.
"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, forget about the previous question, but this question is quite inappropriate."
"Please tell me, whether Utsunomiya Naoji knew that the trader was a high-ranking official of the Tojo Clan at the time, what significance does it have for your hypothesis?"
She placed her hand on the pile of documents on the prosecutor's desk and continued.
"I don't think that the answer to your question will help you prove that Mr. Utsunomiya's testimony is perjury, so I think your behavior is purely to delay time——"
"Prosecutor Iwai, have you forgotten?"
Xiang Yuanguang looked up at the prosecutor's seat and answered directly.
"Is it possible that, regardless of whether I question Mr. Utsunomiya or not, this trial cannot be concluded within this period of time because there is still a key witness that has not been questioned and key evidence that has not been found."
"Therefore, your accusation that my inquiry is a delay is completely nonsense."
After hearing this, Iwai Sayoko was speechless.
Although he didn't want to admit it, there was no doubt that what Xiang Yuanguang just said was right.
Even if the other party did not ask this question and ended the questioning phase directly, it would not affect the fact that the court would not adjourn until Shimano Tai testified in court and the trial was completed. Therefore, the reason for her accusation just now was actually a bit biased.
————If there is a modification, it should be that the prosecution and the defense guide the testimony?
However, Xiang Yuanguang would not give Iwai Sayoko time to make revisions.
His eyes fell on Utsunomiya Naoji again.
This time, it seemed to him that something was clearly wrong on Naoji Utsunomiya's face.
Obviously, the other party was not sure whether the trader was a senior member of the Dongcheng Association.
After all, Naoji Utsunomiya's direct superior was the Nishikiyama Group, which had no connection with the Shimano Group, and he did not know the senior management of the Shimano Group. It might not be too unreasonable to say that he recognized someone as soon as they met.
However, this question should not be difficult to answer for Utsunomiya Naoji.
But the other party didn't say anything. Was he worried that the following testimony would allow me to find a new breakthrough?
Xiang Yuanguang's finger gently touched his forehead.
In fact, he has found a breakthrough.
"It seems that the answer is already very clear, Mr. Utsunomiya. You actually couldn't confirm that the trader was a senior member of the Tojo Association at the beginning. You only cooperated with the trader because of profit."
"Then here comes the question——"
"Why would the trader find you, the remnants of the Ghost Tiger Group? Why would he pay attention to your existence and come to you specifically to commission you to assassinate Kusakabe Makoto?"
"Will the selfish Shimano Tai really allow a group of outsiders like you to take action?"
The blue lawyer's words made Utsunomiya Naoji frown.
He had no idea what Xiang Yuanguang was trying to express.
"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, what do you mean?"
Iwai Sayoko was equally confused, and she slammed the table and asked directly.
"Stop talking about these irrelevant things and just state the conclusion you want to make!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the court immediately focused their attention on Xiang Yuanguang.
If the hedgehog continues to keep the secret here.
Even if you say that animals are good friends of humans, you will inevitably be criticized and executed in the court.
"Xiang Yuan, what do you want to say?"
Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who was standing next to Genmitsu, asked.
"The person who traded with Utsunomiya Naoji was not Shimano Tai."
Replied to Yuan Guang.
His voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.
At this moment, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Because they all couldn't understand how Xiang Yuanguang's thinking was able to come to this final conclusion in such a way that it seemed like these two questions had nothing to do with his inferences.
The blond judge in the main seat was even more confused.
He didn't even know what was going on, and Xiang Yuanguang was telling him that the final conclusion could be drawn?
The presiding judge shook his head, trying to sober himself up a little.
Then he raised the gavel and brought it down violently.
The noisy discussions in the audience gradually died down.
Now, only the presiding judge's voice was still ringing.
"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, please explain this. This court really wants to know what is going on!"
